Origins - S5 Off-Season Guide

The S5 Off-Season of Axie Infinity: Origins is here! The off-season begins on the 6th of September, 2023.

This season included updates and changes to some card and game mechanics, as well as improvements and bug fixes.

New Starter Axies!

Lunacia, say hello to Momo, Pomodoro, and Venoki!

These new starter axies are ready for battle, but only the worthy among us will be able to unlock and wield them in the arena. Accomplish specific weekly missions to unlock them and earn resources to promote them. Here’s a sneak-peek at the skills Momo, Pomodoro, and Venoki bring to Origins.

Leaderboard Rewards

In the S5 Off-Season, you will be able to get rewards that could help you get a head start in Season 6. If you place high enough on the leaderboard, you will be able to get Rune and Charm boxes, Moonshards, as well Starter Promotion boxes that you can use to enhance and promote the starter axies!

The off-season leaderboard will run until Season 6 starts, you will have plenty of time to grind in the Arena.

EmAXS

Starting in Season 5, we are introducing EmAXS, an event-specific version of the mAXS leaderboard rewards.

The first-ever contest with AXS on the line will happen from July 28th, 2023 03:30 UTC to August 1st, 2023 03:30 UTC. You will have the chance to claim the ultimate prize by collecting Momo, Pomodoro, and Venoki and engaging in battles with them in the Arena!

Season 5 Eras

Season 5 has three Eras: Rare, Epic, and Mystic, just like in Season 4. During each Era, players can craft specific runes and charms depending on their rarity level.

For instance, the Rare Era runs from day 0 to day 14, where players can only craft Common and Rare runes and charms while higher recipes are locked until the next Era. At the end of each Era, eligible winners will receive AXS leaderboard payouts according to the schedule provided. This incentivizes players to participate and put in effort throughout the entire season. The complete list of Season 4 Eras and their features can be found below.

Game Mechanics Update

Origins Portal 

The Origins Portal allows players to make deposits and withdrawals of in-game assets from the game. Trainers can send SLP and NFT runes and charms from the game to their Ronin wallets and vice versa. 

This allows trainers the ability to trade runes and charms that they have crafted in-game among each other. 

For a step-by-step guide on how to withdraw and deposit assets, please see our Origins Portal article.

Mint Price

We heard our community’s feedback that minting fees for Runes and Charms were too high. That’s why we’ve reduced the mint cost for Epic and Mystic Runes and Charms by 50%. That means you can mint twice as many as before! We’re excited to see how this change affects crafting behavior and marketplace activity.

Smooth Love Potion [SLP]

Rewards obtained from Ranked matches have doubled, while the maximum Stamina available has decreased by half. Consequently, you can now consume all your Stamina and receive the same amount of SLP within half the time it took in previous seasons.

Please check our Smooth Love Potion article for more information about SLP distribution in Axie Infinity: Origins. 

Disenchantment System

No changes were made to the disenchantment system for Season 5.

*Note: Trainers will only receive SLP if they used SLP to craft the rune/charm.

Please view our Crafting Guide for updated information on how to craft runes and charms.
